Which phone around £500 ?

[kmax86]

Im toying with the idea of upgrading my gen 1 Pixel.

Reasons for wanting to upgrade is the abysmal battery life and no more updates.

Primary usage would be:
1. Gaming
2. General app usage
3. Camera

I want stability and regular updates. I was spoiled with nexus 4 and pixel 1 for updates so I find it hard to look at other manufacturers. I am not even sure if my list will have consistent updates apart from pixel 3.

So far my list are:
- A90 5G
- 7T / 7T pro
- S10 / S10e / (maybe S10+ ?)
- Pixel 3 XL / maybe 4 XL ?
- buy a battery/power bank

Thanks

How is OnePlus with stability and updates? I am fine with it not being top 1 in camera as long as its stable and regular.

I reckon the 7T Pro is the best overall phone on your list but it's not available at £500.

Consider the Huawei P30 Pro which is a great phone that can often be had for close to £500. At the moment, Huawei are offering £120 cashback on this phone if you buy from selected retailers. Check the Huawei website and hotukdeals for current deals.

Not really a fan of Huawei due to recent uncertainty of google apps / US/China trade. Happy to be proven wrong though

Thanks for the feedback. I also read about the upcoming OnePlus 8 but it being brand new might be over budget. Happy to wait though.

Good to hear than 3yr old OnePlus are still getting updates. I keep my phone for about 4 years. This would be my 3rd phone so far lol.
